Why does hunt mob HP not scale?

[RichardButte]

So, there is really one, and only one, way to "fix" hunts: stop putting the tome gear upgrade items as a reward.

I could get behind that as well, just as long as raid gear isn't locked behind random world spawns and your getting to them hinges upon someone in one of your hunt LSs (I have 7....) happening to report it in time.

TBH, I enjoy hunts. I like the player networking and coordination that goes into them.

What I DON'T like is the fact that a person actively searching for a hunt mob can miss it under the current system if it gets discovered at the other end of the zone and gets pulled immediately.

Well The big issue they die so quick (right now) is they have Raid gear locked to random world spawns. I'm sure once Alexander hits the upgrade items to the i170s will be available in it. Basically Right now its the ONLY way to get these items and so every high end raid guild, thier cousins, friends of friends of friends enemies, and thier little brothers and sisters are after these things. Poor Sabotender Ballarina has no Idea what hit her! And never mind how much poor Nandi is shedding tears from its eyeball. More so the Heavensward ones names are still being learned and are far easier than some of the Old content As were when they were introduced.

They need to buff the A ranks in my opinion. They are obviously not tuned for a bunch of i160-i180 players going after them.

I rly hate hunts, last night I saw a new leaf player accidentally pull one while questing in South shroud get branded an "early" puller and abused by half the server.

I'm almost done with them, I just hope they never get used for progression again.

let's say for 1 player you get +10k hp, meaning for 100 player you get +1000k hp, however, all the player are not dps, you have tank and healer, them dps is far below the one of the dps. meaning a scales based on player only will become a trouble passed a certain number of player. since a lot of dps is lost by the add of tank and healer. it will recquire for the dps to deal 1.5-2 times them dps for cover the loose.

that why scaling hp are used carefully, because the situation of the fight don't often can be just judged with the number of player against the monster. other point pretty interesting to not forget it's the ilevel of the player, some will be full i170 some will be i140 maybe even below... them dps are not the same for all. simply asking to raise hp because you have more player is naive and dangerous.

Honestly its not the game, its the players. They just need to learn to wait a minute, an extra 60secs is not going to kill them. Then I see people telling others to calm down when honestly I feel they have a right, the monster was just broadcasted, wasting gil and time and then insulting them cus they want the seals which you already got from the monster. We were at Melt and to my amazement, when it was pulled early they actually reset it, 3 times for everyone to get there. So I know it can be done...

That's why scaling HP makes the most sense: when you get the call, you know you have ~2 mins to get there. If you didn't make it there in that time, it's your own damn fault.

They can be reported and punished for resetting the mob.
